Highland Tour 5 - the counterfeit 4/5/6 May 2013

[Alex from NM]

Crudely copy & pasted from NM so forgiveness please for any bad code

Well I kind of got nominated to do the HT5 in the boozer and I reckon I will give it a bash for the hell of it.

What I'm looking to do though is a 'Best Of' Highland Tour

So what I want to know is what their favourite parts of the runs have been from year to year.

If I can fit them into a 2 day run I will go for it.

So what I would like to know is;

favourite start point
favourite road section
favourite overnight location

Now, although I will organise the dates and try and get a deal with accommodation I'm not sure about me and my 'Driving Miss Daisy' style driving for leading the run so I might be looking for someone to step up and lead.

So post away peoples and let me know. I will also build an interested list up too

Interested

1. Alex & Gill
2. Stevey T in a mystery mobile
3. Parkiest of all Bobs & Matt
4. Duncan & Helen
5. Stephen & Allyson
6. Mum & Dad
7. Stewart
9. Ali Works
10. Leanne
11. Emma

ps- there are also wild and unsubstantiated rumours that there may be a bacon butty support vehicle on the tour

I will also try and update this thread when I can but please bear in mind I am useless and will probably forget

So far we have a start point of STIRLING SERVICES
Day 1 stop will be PLOCKTON
Day 2 stop will be TONGUE

The run will commence at 9.30am on Saturday 4th of May and be over the bank holiday weekend, so no excuses about not getting the holidays off work

Well done Alex - you can count us in
Favourites are so hard to chose on such a great run but I'd say mine are the same as yours
Looking forward to it already

[Stewart]

As always! Wait I've not even cleaned the car from the last one.

[Mini Ecosse]

Yes please :))

Well done young Sir for taking up the batton. Count us in. My favourite bits are the ferries and Mom's favourite bits are the pubs!!
Wouldn't worry about the pace, because although the pace was fine this year (following an MX5....lol), going a bit slower would at least give us time to see the scenery and I think might encourage a few more people to join in.

Put me down as a mabie the now please

[Alex from NM]

getting a bit of interest which is good to see

Some interesting feedback from Duncan about the roads south of Fort William being the least favourite bit of the trip which is something I can relate to. I know Paul tried to change it but with the Rest and Be Thankful shut that got scuppered. I think it would be great to do Sma Glen on the way up for a change.

If anyone wants to do any google maps as well feel free. I will get around to it when I get some time
